I understand hobbies can make you a well rounded person, but do they not understand how little time the average person has? Typical schedule is 8 to 5. Gym 530 to 630. Dinner at 7. At that point it's just catching your breath. Then getting ready for bed at 9. Repeat Monday - Friday. And that's for someone who's single with no kids.
Almost like some kind of joke.

Shouldn't make a difference kids or no kids. When I was a kid it was normal for us to just walk (unsupervised) to a friend's house to hang out, or get together as a group to go bike riding. By my teens, no one wanted to have their parents driving them from place to place. We made our own way via public transport. The helicopter parenting these days is so weird.
But yes who the fuk wants to waste their weekend on doing organised crap? Hikes were the worst. Brb wake up early Saturday to drive to the middle of nowhere to walk around for 10 miles then only just making it back home on Sunday night.

You can tell a lot about a potential employee by asking this.
candidate 1- works on classic cars, fishing, woodworking
candidate 2- instagram, makeup, shopping
You can pretty much tell which person is going to cause drama and be a pain in the ass to have around the office."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

Basically they are trying to find out if you're just gonna be a lifeless wagie chasing the buck
Even though they prefer you'd be just that, still they like to think you are a human being so they ask if you have hobbies.
If hobbies align with your job, then that's a dream come true for companies.
If you have none, they might just think you will leave the job when bored so likely not to hire you.Disclaimer: The post above is about 3.50% srs
